Observe
1. I see a Coca-Cola shack, that is in Alabama.
2.I noticed that the shack is made out of wood and that its basically in the middle of nowhere.
3.Some objects that are shown are a bunch of signs and a fence, it also has a window but it doesn't look like it would open. Reflect
1. If someone made this today, I think the difference would be what the shack is made out of. I don't exactly think that it would be made out of wood. Also I think the setting would be a lot different, because nowadays they would put a shack/store where people are so that they would buy more and more and not run out of business.
2. I think the only thing that would be the same is the signs all over the place, they most likely put those signs there to attract people to going there.
3. I think this image was made to show people the difference from what stores looked like then and now. Question
1. I wonder who got the idea to actually build a Coca-Cola shack.
2. I wonder where this is or if it is around other stores.
3. Last i would ask why that person chose to put the shack in the place that they did.

Observe
1. I see two colored people working in fields.
2. The first thing I noticed was that they were colored.
3. There are a husband and a wife working on the field with their gardening tools. Reflect
1. I learned that certain people are not being treated the way they should be.
2. Nothing would be the same, yes people would work in a field but not just colored people.
3. If someone made this today I think the thing that would be different are the people. Question
1. Who would think to make this picture this way?
2. Why would someone make a picture like this?
3. Where are they? Is it just in the middle of nowhere?

Observation
1. I see a colored family of 8, standing outside.
2. I noticed the way they were dressed, and how they are not wearing shoes.
3. I can see in the background it is somewhat of a farm. Reflect
1. The family just seems to be spending time together outside.
2. I learned that they are not a very wealthy family with the way that they are dressing.
3. If they made this today i think the house would look a lot different and their clothes. Question
1. When did this picture take place?
2. Why did they make this family look so poor?
3.What was going through the families minds when they had to live this way?
